Threads is following X’s lead, blocking links to purportedly leaked documents about vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
Meta says the links could come from hacked or leaked sources — and it’s blocking them because of the potential connection. The FBI and other intelligence agencies last month warned that Iran-backed hackers had sought to access information from the Trump campaign.
Purportedly hacked documents have been floating around various media outlets ever since, and while the existence of these documents has been reported, almost all outlets have refused to publish the details due to the potentially illicit way they were obtained.
Interesting how documents from democratic campaigns are fair game. Even dick pics of the president’s son are fair game. But when it comes to Republicans Suddenly It’s all off limits. Strange.
More predictable than interesting.
I believe the former is the reason for the policy affecting the latter.
In a rational world? Perhaps. But if this were a rational world and that were actually the reason. They would have done it after the Clinton campaign leaked documents. Or 30 times before that. So I highly suspect that isn’t the case. It’s that it’s impacting the people they want to win personally. Therefore it must be censored. And for all the many faults Democrats have. They’re not being hypocritical on this point at least. The Biden campaign was contacted with this information previously but didn’t publish it or run with it. Not like any Republican or specifically Trump officials would have.
Similarly in 2000, Gore campaign reported a leak from the Bush campaign to the FBI.
This is part of a whole reckoning over the banning of the Hunter Biden laptop during October of 2024, which all these platforms took part in.
In short, you are either misremembering or purposefully spreading misinformation.
They didn’t ban it. They were the ones spreading it. Literally I can give you page after page after page of evidence. Twitter and Facebook were the main vectors it spread through unabated. The Biden Administration rightfully asking for them not to make exception to their revenge porn rules. To no avail was not the same thing.
Sorry buddy, the entirety of the historical record disagrees with your flawed memory of events.
It doesn’t at all. It was a nothing Burger the whole time. And if you were ignorant enough to believe the Twitter files. Well that’s on you.
Are you from the future?
Here from a next month to warn us about presidential candidate Hunter Biden.
